Archer C3 build discussion

Class and Rank Archer
#1

I would like to discuss builds that include Archer circle 3 in them.I just finished Archer3 with the original intention of going Scout3, but I am an indecisive sort and want to really think this through.

Archer Circle 3:
This is all about Twin Arrows and level 15 Multi-shot, and so far it’s been good! I’ve been able to put down all the low level mobs I face with 1 or 2 uses of level 5 twin arrows with an upgraded bow for a while now. It’s starting to taper off a bit but I probably need a new bow soon anyway. Multi-shot is great and I think the main joy I get from using it is how flexible it is, if I need a fast 6 hits i can have that, if I need to wail on something with high hp or block I can do that too. I strongly considered hunter for my c3 or some other route entirely but here I am so that part is set, it certainly doesn’t feel like it was a bad choice so on to the next one…

Builds:
A3>Sc3>Musketeer/Cannoneer
This was my original plan, circle 3 is so far away though and scout seems very weak for pve until then. I wanted this out of love for how oblique shot works, since split arrow is it’s big brother and comes with stealth to use in pvp with musket or cannon.

A3>Wug3>SR or A3>Wug2>SR2
Poison skills intrigue me and I hear Wugushi can be quite effective. Also who doesn’t consider Schwarzer Reiter at some point? Archer that moves faster? Yes please, also that costume! Retreat Shot is supposed to be pretty good as well. Between the two variations it really depends on whether Jincan Gu is good enough to shoot for or not, and I’m really on the fence with what videos I have been able to dig up. Maybe it’s ok? I can’t tell.

A3>?>Fletcher3
Fletcher is cool, part of me wants to steer away from it due to it’s popularity and me needing to be a bit more special of a snowflake, but I can’t argue it’s cool. It satisfies my want of both single target and aoe damage, and crossfire just looks awesome. Personally I see some merits to this vs the ranger3 fletcher build, then again I’m not sure twin arrows was really needed for a fletcher and Archer2 might have been the stop point ideally. I could go for anything in the middle really even Quarrel Shooter would be fun due to it’s ability to psuedo taunt with Pavise and Caltrops for easy Crossfire set up.

What do you guys think? I’m just thinking aloud here, help a guy decide! Tell me your experiences if any of you play these or other builds including Archer 3.

I have almost the same opinions as you. Currently at A3, and am favouring the scout 3 path. However, I was thinking of whether going for A3>S1>Fletcher1>S3 or A3>S3>Cannoneer1/Musketeer1.

I know many might feel its not worth skipping R7 classes, but Fletcher 1 makes sense to me as since A3>S3 build lacks in single target damage, F1 gives Barbed arrow (decent spammable single target skill even at level 5) and Broadhead (the bleed helps alot to increase single target DPS especially on bosses) that would go well with of course split arrow. (our spammable “aoe” skill)

I was thinking of an A3 Wugu2 Falcon1 Musket1 aoe monster build.

Stack aoe attack ratio for Multishot + Covering Fire, combine it with Falconer’s circling to completely erase mobs off the server.

Ar3>sap2>falconer>cannoneer here. Circling+multi shotis the best. Twin arrow is great tool in solo farming/grinding.
Fellow multishot lover raise aoe atk ratio at least 3 make multishot improve a lot.

A3-S-R3 is a solid/proven single target build.

Rude. He might have meant A3-S-Ro3 as in Rogue not Ranger. That is pretty much the burrow build that you see killing an entire boss without being seen.

Even if he meant Ranger, I still think you should be more constructive.
